CNET Editors' review
Comodo System Cleaner collects three free and useful cleaning utilities: Registry Cleaner, Disk Cleaner, and Privacy Cleaner. Running these utilities will rid your computer of duplicate, harmful, or otherwise unnecessary files.
The interface of this program is colorful and easy to navigate and use. Before it runs a cleaning task, it creates a backup of your system to prevent any accidental loss of data, which is a great benefit. Day-to-day computing inevitably causes stray files and other debris to build up in your system, and it's often difficult to find and delete it all. We ran each of Comodo System Cleaner's utilities on our laptop PC, and it cleaned out a whole bunch of unneeded junk on our system without deleting anything we didn't want it to delete or otherwise damaging our computer's functionality. The process was swift and efficient. We already had a couple of different types of virus and spyware protection software installed on our computer, yet Comodo System Cleaner was able to find junk that the other programs had missed. We don't suggest running this program in lieu of your standard antivirus and spyware program, but it's a nice complement, and we plan on keeping it installed on our system. We found this program to be very easy to use; however, there's a Help file available as well as support from the manufacturer.
Comodo System Cleaner is as well-designed and functional a program as its competitors, yet it's free, which makes it the best bargain there is.

"Intrusive, nearly impossible to uninstall-AVOID"
Version: Comodo System-Cleaner 3.0.172695.53
Pros
None. The "cleaning" resulted in a major crash, fixable only with a boot disc or system restore (to previous functional time).
Cons
Cleanup was NOT helpful but a hindrance. The program runs at start-up and uses significant power. Uninstall is a giant catch-22! It does not show up in Windows uninstall or CCleaner uninstall. Comodo help says to use those tools to uninstall--impossible. Googling help often leads to Comodo forums: when I go there a message appears that I am blocked from the forum for "persistent abuse"--yet I have never even visited the site before.
Summary
I hope I can figure out a way to successfully install this program: it is more like a malignant virus than a system cleaning tool. AVOID it!

"COMOODO SYSTEM CLEANER DOES TOO MUCH FOR ITS OWN GOOD"
Version: Comodo System-Cleaner 3.0.172695.53
Pros
i really like the idea of comodo system cleaner. it works much like pc system tools i think its called ? it seemed to have everything you want or need in a registry and cleaner optimizer. it may in fact work very well on your computer. FREE with allot of extra options
Cons
IT needs to tell you more in detail what all the options do and what they remove. IT REMOVED all my passwords and my system started to freez up and comodo cleaner was using 90% of my pc cpu. COMODO should have boxes that you can check in that say safe or will not remove or JUST have it so you can set it on a SAFE MODE that will not allow any alterations !! keep in mind other programs have caused my system to freez up , so it is not all on comodo.I DO NOT LIKE programs like this that takes too much knowledge and trying to figure out what to do.
Summary
I USE COMODO REGISTRY CLEANER , (THE ORIGINAL) VERSION AND I RECOMMEND THAT IF YOU CAN STILL FIND IT. i like it CAUSE its plain and simple and easy to use. i can Not recommend comodo system cleaner at this time. maybe unti lthey keep the bugs out and make it EASIER AND SAFER TO USE. THATS WHY I ALSO USE (ADVANCED SYSTEM CARE 5) on my computer. never HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT !

Summary

"Leaves a program running in background"
Version: Comodo System-Cleaner 3.0.172695.53
Pros
A good cleaner product except for the CON noted
Cons
My cpus were running at 80% and turns out it is a comodo program which cannot be turned off or changed in settings. I don't know about you, but I am real tired of programs installing services and background programs I do not want. They all think they are the only app on the box. I un-installed it and am happy with TweakNow reg cleaner, thanks.
Summary
Don't leave litterware on my pc

"Easy to use and works well"
Version: Comodo System-Cleaner 3.0.172695.53
Pros
Easy to use, sped up my computer
Cons
I have not found any cons at this time.
Summary
Great product. I'm glad it was recommended to me.

"What A Cleaner!"
Version: Comodo System-Cleaner 3.0.172695.53
Pros
Comodo cleans more junk from your computer than any other program I have used. Because it is so thorough, it is necessary to be ultra cautious about exactly what you want to have cleaned unless you want to spend time doing a System Restore.
Cons
This is so thorough that I would not recommend using it as a daily utility.
Summary
I believe that, unless you feel the need to clean your computer frequently, Comodo will do the job for you like no other program...and it's free to boot.

"Good product, not very intuitive"
Version: Comodo System-Cleaner 3.0.172695.53
Pros
The program gives the user options on how "much" drilling down they want to accomplish. This feature allows for a truly quick check and update.
Cons
The interface displays "NOT CLEAN" after selecting "CLEAN". The "CLEAN" mode only identifies, it does not perform the corrections and/or deletions.
Summary
Good program; however better interface and instructions are necessary.

"Be careful with this heat-seeking rocket launcher."
Version: Comodo System-Cleaner 3.0.172695.53
Pros
Decent cleaner to have in the arsenal. Auto-cleaner is kind of OK.
Cons
When Skynet takes over, this program will save mankind (but hopefully not before they make the Summer Glau model Terminator). Wield with extreme caution. Probably wouldn't be missed in the meantime, however. CCleaner, WinUtilies, and Index.dat Analyzer are all you really need as far as general file and registry cleaners go. (And Yes, there is a 64 bit version of Index.dat Analyzer, but not here on C-Net). And did Abexo forget to pay their electric bill? I don't think it's here either anymore, but that one has saved the day in a few emergencies (but it's another registry obliterater to be wielded cautiously).
Summary
Don't do anything beyond the defaults, unless you want to watch your computer make that noise Pac-man did after that red ghost(Blinky?), got him. Game over.
